This is a great little place in downtown Austin, and we will definitely be back. My daughter found this place and wanted to come for her birthday. Got a Saturday night reservation (it was really dead downtown because it was Texas vs A&M night--I'm sure it is much busier on a typical weekend). Nice little spot very close to the Capitol. Got seated and taken care of by Sandra (who was great). It's a quaint place. We started with some bread, which was really the only disappointment of the evening. It was somewhat gummy, like it needed to be cooked just a little more, and it was served cold. Not sure why QG couldn't get a bread warmer and serve hot bread--it would be so much better. Lots of nice entrees to choose from on the menu, and also a lot of chalkboard specials, which I love. Ensures a nice variety for future visits. I ended up having the rigatoni truffle sausage, which was excellent. Pasta was cooked perfectly, and the flavor was great. Nice portion size as well. Not skimpy, but not too much either. My daughter had a Margherita pizza, and my wife had the Montanara pizza. They both loved it, and I have to say, the pizza crust that I tasted was out of this world. I'll come back for a pizza. We were not going to do dessert, but Sandra brought my daughter a cannoli with a candle in it for her birthday. Very sweet of her, and the cannoli was really good. Met the owner on the way out - a very nice man. Told him how much we enjoyed it.

I REALLY enjoyed this place! I shockingly also have never heard of it but it's a bit further down on congress near the capital! outdoor and indoor seating was abundant and the staff there was so friendly. RIGATONI TRUFFLE SASUAGE DISH WAS TO DIE FOR! i'm going back next week to get it again - it was so rich and creamy and flavorful but not overwhelming and also had a great portion of sausage to make it one filling dish! we also got the burrata and prosciutto appetizer and it was so fresh. also a must get! The carbonara was really good too, but i'm telling you that rigatoni stole the show. I would highly highly recommend this place for their wines as well - the sav was got was fabulous! Can't wait to come back

Came by Saturday evening for dinner. The restaurant was not busy at all. We were greeted and sat immediately. Lighting was a bit dim but made for a nice ambiance. Our server was very attentive and informative. We ordered the caprese salad which was good but I wish they hadn't added salt... For dinner my friend and I shared a margherita pizza which was very good. Perfect for sharing and a good size. My other friend got the carbonara pasta which she said was ok.

I've been here a few times when I want something I know I will love & have never been disappointed. You are greeted with a warm welcome and brought into a cozy, intimate, tasteful space of a restaurant. Not a huge place so you really feel like you've found a gem. I absolutely love the what the inside feel gives you, big windows to people watch. The food will be 10/10 each time. I always get the rigatoni truffle sausage & it's creamy warm texture does it for me everytime . Smoked salmon was cooked to perfection & bruschetta was wonderful. Can't recommend this place enough for date night, family, any occasion.

I don't know why I haven't written a review of Quattro Gatti Ristorante e Pizzeria. I have been coming here for several years now, although I am not a regular visitor every month - I have been here several times and every visit here has been exceptional and impressive. I believe my first visit was around 2014-ish. I was looking for something similar to a Cioppino and they has something along that lines. It was pricey but the quality was really good and made up for it. Small quaint place with a nice vibe to it and outside seating too. On my next visit I was looking for pizza, and walked in the early evening. I met the owner and we had a chat - he was a very nice guy, very passionate about his food and offering an authentic experience. Even though I wanted pizza he recommended a Gnocchi dish with a 4 cheese sauce. He sounded so convincing I pivoted, and so glad I did! Wow - that dish was so simple yet so complex in flavors and that was by far the creamiest most decadent cheese sauce I have ever experienced. I needed to take a nap as it was very rich, and just enough portions, and the gnocchi was so soft and quality good. This dish - I felt like I was experiencing Italy. I thanked him for his spot-on recommendation. I have come back for their brick oven pizzas, the mushroom is one of my faves here. I have had others too - but his dough is very soft and some chew to it. The ingredients are fresh and quality good. The taste is exceptional. I have been to a few similar places around Austin but they can be inconsistent in quality and portions, like going lighter on cheese and ingredients, but this place has always remained consistent. I can walk up to the bar and order my pizza to go. I remember talking to him during the pandemic, when restaurants were struggling. We were both in that "wait and see" phase and the unknown at that time. I am glad to see he has survived that and I visited a few times since the end of the pandemic and his quality has maintained - which was awesome. I often recommend his restaurant to those who ask for a superb Italian experience as I found that my other places do not measure up anymore and have unfortunately deteriorated. I was very happy to see they maintained the same level of quality ingredients and service too. This is my absolute go-to place for Italian in the Austin area that lives up to the hype.

Amazing experience!! They offer outdoor seating that has a view of the capitol out front of the restaurant and indoor tables. It is small so I recommend making a reservation if possible. All the workers are exceptional!! So kind and helpful with providing suggestions. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed the atmosphere. The food was so fresh and delicious, can't wait to come back!

I cannot get over how amazing the pizza was here as well as the service. If I could give 100 stars, I would. I found this spot as I was the itinerary food planner for our Austin Texas trip. My boss thanked me for this one, it definitely exceeded our expectations. We made reservations to be safe but on a Tuesday evening around 7pm, it was hardly busy. There were plenty of tables open that evening and they also had larger tables to accommodate groups of around 8 or 10 (I would call in to be certain). We ordered the Margherita pizza, super simple pizza but the toppings and the dough especially made this so delicious. The dough had to be my favorite part. Was fresh and not too crunchy, soft in the right spots. We both ate the entire thing, it wasn't too heavy but a perfect size for two ladies. If I am ever in Austin again, I will make it a point to come back here again. Thank you for the great service and excellent dinner!
